Inheritance take 5

[Verse] Raised under a shadow A legacy so cold My father's twisted words They took their heavy toll He whispered in my ear His bitterness and pain Tainting every dream Leaving only stains [Verse 2] My mind filled with darkness His bleakness consumed The world was a prison My heart forever doomed I longed for a way out A chance to break away But his words echoed in my soul A haunting replay [Chorus] I'm sorry Mother For the pain I couldn't leave behind The weight of his legacy I carry in my mind But now I'll rise above. [Chorus] Break free from this despair For I am not my father I'll not be his Heir I must prepare So the Bitterness beware. [Verse] Drowning in the echoes of a distant time Lost in the memories Can't escape the rhyme Used to have dreams But now they're out of reach Living day by day Can't even find the peace [Verse 2] Ain't it funny how the years just slipped away? Age is just a number But it's weighing on me Caught between the past and the present tense Regrets and what-ifs Life just doesn't make sense [Chorus]
